Beautiful Attitudes

I am one parent who strongly believe in teaching values to the children, much more than academic knowledge. Because information is always changing but good values never change and if the children learn them well, the good values will be stuck to the children all the days of their lives. I strongly believe that having high IQ (Intelligent Quotient) will give you an advantage in the starting point, but it is the high EQ (Emotional Quotient) that will help a person go a longer way. I am thankful to Phoebe's school, SKMCC, for imparting good values to the children.

Beautiful Attitudes - that's the theme for this year's concert. It was held on 6 Nov 2010. I am always very impressed with the school's concert. Last year's concert brought tears to my eyes. This year's concert was just as impressive. They do not need fanciful costumes, just a simple customised T-shirt and the children's own pants and some simple props and the show was rolled out spectacularly. This year, Phoebe's dance steps were a little more complicated but she was able to perform effortlessly. I am so proud of my little girl. She has indeed grown up and I'm glad that she has also grown to be more confident of herself! :)

The teachers and principal are very kind, patient and caring. I see them with the children throughout. Not an angry word was spoken nor an order commanded. The children were excited, yet orderly. The principal is one lady I really respect. She is a dynamic but humble person and her faith in God is admirable. She is always with the children and teachers, helping out when there is a need to be hands-on. When a teacher is on leave, the principal will not hesitate to stand in for the teacher to teach the class. She has about 324 children in her school and she knows every child by his/ her name. This principal is truly remarkable!

With the strong rapport between the children and the staff, the children are blossoming under their care. I have never regretted putting Phoebe in this school and next year, I will also enrol Reuben into SKMCC. He will be attending Nursery in 2012. I also want Reuben to grow up in a healthy Christian environment where he can also acquire beautiful attitudes and values! :)





Mrs Lim, Phoebe's English teacher. Phoebe loves her story time.
Mrs. Tan, the wonderful shepherd of the school.


Phoebe's Chinese teacher, Zhao Lao Shi, very encouraging.
Mrs. Lee, Phoebe's Math/Form teacher, very motherly and kind.
Phoebe's another Chinese teacher, Chen Lao Shi, very helpful and patient.




Watch Phoebe and the Little Chefs preparing a feast for everyone!
